The Decemberists open the faucet on new material…
September 30th 2008, 5:39 PM | by Greg Szeto | |So this fall, the Decemberists triumphantly return to the road for the Bridesmaid Revisited tour, dragging along 3 new, limited-edition, 12″ singles. Each contains a new song that has been played live for a bit now. The first of these vinyls drops in just over 2 weeks, Oct 14th. The lead track is “Valerie Plame,” referencing the recent scandal, has just popped up on Youtube. If you look hard enough, you can also find some other tracks like this live version of one of Meloy’s latest epics, loosely titled “Night/Rake.” And don’t forget to catch Meloy et al when they drop into Rams Head on Nov 08.
